A fake Kim Jong-Un said hi to North Korean cheerleaders, who didn't take it well

Guess someone was going to do it. A Kim Jong-un impersonator went to greet North Korean cheerleaders at the Winter Olympics, and you can bet it caused quite the stir.

During the match, he walked over to the group of North Koreans waving a unified Korea flag — only to be pushed aside by a group of apparent DPRK minders. Suffice it to say, the some of the North Korean cheerleaders weren't so impressed.

Soon after, Howard said he was surrounded by South Korean policemen who didn't let him leave for his own protection. He was eventually released, but after the game finished. "They told me they had to detain me for my own safety. I told them look, mate, I didn't break any laws, I didn't make any political statements, I told them I just turned up as a ticket holder. I'm allowed to watch the game like anyone else," he added. Police have now surrounded and asked the apparent impersonator to come with him, he says his name's Howard, was just cheering and looks like this, and didn't commit any crime. Refuses to go with them.

Here he was with a Donald Trump impersonator, Dennis Alan, at the opening ceremony.

I consider myself a satirist. For people that come from countries with freedom of speech, I think it's important to take the piss out [mock] of our leaders," he said. "The most feared weapon of any dictatorship is satire." WATCH: This is how Margot Robbie looked like a master figure skater on 'I, Tonya'
